still mentally scarred from my completely ill-advised decision to go to Oxford Street last Saturday. Any Saturday on Oxford Street is horrific but pre-Xmas it was carnage. I ended up buying nothing because it took half an hour to walk what would normally take 5 mins. Grrrr...

but then I only had a few to buy. My family have an agreement to buy 3 Â£5 presents each, then play an amusing and rewarding game to distribute them amongst ourselves. It certainly makes life cheaper and less stressful.
